I don't think the 97 bed is crowned, I'd have to take a straight edge to it to be sure as was mentioned. I also used my planer to taper the edge. If I'm only using the 1 piece, I'm thinking the shorter one will be better. I thought more people had done the shimming, I do like the stepped semi mudflap idea though. I'll have to check again, but I don't think the rails are tapered either.
If you're going through all this trouble, why not just measure the depth of the truck bed and the depth of the camper and see which one is not parallel front to back?
Presume it's the truck. Same thing on our old Dodge and doesn't affect anything, functionally.
But if the aesthetics bothers you, then I suppose your planed super duper wedge is the best option as it provides a good deal of support?
That said, IMO this is a solution looking for a problem.
